In this week’s Omni Talk Retail Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, Infios, Quorso, and Veloq, Chris and Anne were live from eTail West in Palm Springs as they discussed:
- Carrefour signing a sweeping strategic partnership with Vusion to digitize all of its hypermarkets and supermarkets in France by 2030 (Source)
- Kohl’s rolling out its new Deal Bar concept to all 1,100+ stores nationwide (Source)
- Walmart launching Scintilla In-Store, a new real-time mobile data platform for supplier field reps (Source)
- Gap Inc. officially launching Encore, a unified cross-brand loyalty program spanning Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta (Source)
- Burger King President Tom Curtis personally fielding calls and texts from customers at his work number (Source)
There’s all that, plus mysterious ghost sightings, Thin Mints in the freezer, and a nerd laugh that Anne was not quite ready to deliver on camera.
